You guys complain too much... it's almost like you require the "perfect" camera to improve your photos, really?

I am quite liking what I am seeing for this MKII version of the G1X: faster lens (and 24mm), leaner body thanks to no OVF, touch screen, good minimum focus distance, simpler to use tilt screen...

Let's hope the AF is a bit faster.

Hooray! Finally somebody engaged his brain before letting his fingers loose on the keyboard!

A bit insulting for those interested in working out whether this camera will work for them don't you think?

If you think so, or have you just taken it personally? But a question for you then, do they really need to parade their angst in public to work out whether the camera will work for them or not? Isn't it a bit sad that some people seem to get so wound up by a camera? Especially as the product hasn't even been announced yet.

To be honest I don't really see anyone getting "wound up" about anything, just some interesting debate around the camera with the odd flippant comment thrown in, certainly no need for anyone to be insulting about it. Of course people get excited, it's camera forum, the camera looks like it may be announced tomorrow and it's quite a groundbreaking camera by the looks of it. A large sensored camera in a small form factor with a 24-120mm F2.8-3.9 lens? looks pretty exciting to me as well though I'll reserve full judgement until it's confirmed.
